Hi, I am really stuck to my design concept which is urban interweaving. I am designing the entry(including a big flow of circulation of subway, commuter people, entry of stadium, and offices of a complex building to represent urban interweaving for surrouding area. I chose this concept because a site has lots of mutl layers such as subway, commuter rail, highway, and pedestrian way. Also, lots of spots of the surrounding area are still under construction. Anyone can give me some ideas about developing that idea or precedens regarding this concept.. Thanks alot!
What you've got is a 'topic'... you need to formulate your own "design concept" based on that topic (you're calling it "urban interweaving" ... rem called it "cross-programming"... developers call it "mixed-use"). It's really a more of a phenomenon related to spatial proximity in the city than it is a 'designed' thing: different stuff is close together so a sometimes-strange intermixing happens as a result.
In order to generate your 'concept' you might want to thing about two things together:
2)the people stuff: how could you begin to classify the different people who will pass through this space in a new way that would allow you to desing THIS ONE SPACE for all of them at the same time? Try not to label them 'commuters' 'workers' 'fans' etc., but rather 'wait-ers' 'walkers' 'eaters', etc... also consider how the TIME of the spaces use may have more sway on the nature of the space (and thusly the nature of your design) than do the difference in users.
Just suggestions... my damn rendering is taking forever so I've got the time!
umm... that "focus on finding a way" at the end was an orphaned peice of text from something else... I'm not getting all zen on you. sorry. This blog really needs an edit function!
What if you could generate behavior using a piece of software that generates complex systems behavior. The people gathering cold be the emergent phenomena out of all of the individual actors' behavior. These nodes could become the places where density and connections are the greatest. This eliminates things like zoning and planning.
Think of it: emergent behavior eliminates collective and/or top-down planning. Ayn Rand would have loved this one! ;-)
help me about my concept

Hope that was helpful.

Good luck!

here's your concept: urban estuary. now just design it baby...good luck
1+1 =
different stuff is close together so a sometimes-strange intermixing happens as a result
urban estuary
daycare and freeway exit. make it work.
steven holl's interweaving.. that might help for you! good luck
or you could incorporate a weaving theme... spiderman or crochet perhaps
been done
